Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 56

Meanwhile, life went on in the Foster family

Emruly Foster was in an excellent mood. The table was piled high with gifts from Max Wilson. After a

shower, she sat cross-legged on the bed and unwrapped the custom-made gown Max sent her last

night

The sky-blue strapless dress had embedded crystals in the hem that sparkled under the light. It was

elegant and beautiful.

The gown must have cost a fortune

Her cell phone suddenly rang, disrupting her self-absorbed moment.

“Hello”

The woman on the other end went straight to the point “Ill get someone to add something to the wine

tomorrow Thank of a way to make her sleep with Max”

Emily gaped in shock. But Max is my-” She wanted to say that he was her boyfriend and that she would

marry him and become Mrs. Wilson How could she let him sleep with that bitch?

The woman interrupted her. “Drem on! Do you think the Wilson family will approve of your background

and let you marry Max? They are concerned you will ruin his reputation Have you been blinded by

Max’s small favors and wwert talk The Wilson family is out of your reach! Don’t you understand I’m

trying to help you, for crying out loud!

allow

Of late. Emily was almost sure Max would marry her, he was obedient as a puppy. He had taken her

home several times too. However, the woman was telling the truth as well. The Wilson family was a

prominent one in Athana. They would Emily to be part of the clan even if Max was a useless loser

Unless no woman in Athana dared to marry Max Wilson, it would be difficult for Emily to gam a

foothold. Moreover, Max had no say in the family whatsoever.

Emily initially fantasized about marrying Max if she conceived his child out of wedlock. It would be a

legitimate reason to become part of the Wilson family.

However, the woman interrupted Emily’s thoughts rudely. “Do you think you can marry into the family if

you bear Max’s child: Don’t be such a nincompoop! The Wilson family is not short of descendants. In

fact, Max might already have many children, legitimate or otherwise. The celebrities he’s been with

were in the dozens. Have you thought about that”

Emily did not expect the woman on the other end to be able to read her inner thoughts.

She hesitated for a moment. “What should I do, then? Many people will be at the banquet. I’m afraid it’ll

be challenging to spike the wine. Moreover, Natalie might not even drink it. That bitch is guarded and

doesn’t touch anything in our family”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll think of a way. Just keep your mouth shut!

“Miss Blackwell, why do you sound different?” Emily asked suspiciously,

“What are you talking about, Miss Foster? I’m just someone who hates Natalie; I’m not Miss Blackwell.

Did you ask Miss Blackwell to help you get rid of Natalie?”

Emily was taken aback. “Oh, so you’re not Miss Blackwell. Then you’re-I didn’t.” She was at a loss and

spoke in a daze

“You don’t have to be concerned about who I am. I have my agenda. You will benefit from it; just keep

your mouth shut. The more you know, the faster you die. Do you understand?” The woman warned in a

threatening tone.

Emily was so frightened that she hurriedly nodded, thinking that the person on the other end was Mia

Blackwell.

She had sent Natalie’s photo to Mia Blackwell before and told her that Natalie was Trevon Wilson’s

wife. Therefore, she assumed the other party was Mia.

But the woman denied that she was Min.

Then who was on the other end of the line?

Could she be the bitch’s enemy? Emily thought. Natalie had an unforgiving and offensive mouth, after

all. She must have more than her fair share of enemies.

Emily was in a good mood after hanging up. No matter who it was, she had no objection as long as

someone could get rid of Natalie. As for Max Wilson, the woman was right about his infamous

reputation. Women from wealthy families would not go near him, let alone marry him. Ultimately, the

Wilson family would have no choice but to choose her. Emily Foster, as his lawful wife.

It was just sleeping with a woman, after all. Max Wilson had slept with countless women before, so

what if it was Natalie? Emily thought.

Sherri and Natalie stood out in their unique bla

In addition, both men were lookers with attractive figures.

Catalie, do you think we look like mourners?” Sherri looked around her and saw men and women

dressed in gorgeous outfits smiling away

Natale looked severe with a hint of wicked intent. Coupled with the black dress and white overcoat, she

looked strange and out of place

“But that’s the effect 1 want” she said straight-faced.

sherri chuckled. Then she texted Hackett Blackwell while

staring at the entrance door in a daze.

The Foster family’s living room was large enough to hold right tables and accommodate nearly a

hundred people

Everyone was already seated except for a table with three empty seats

When Natalie and Sherri entered the room, all eyes were turned to them. The were bare-facred and

matched in black and white, causing the guests to whisper among themselves.

“Who are these women They are attractive young women, but why were they dressed in have any

“I think it’s rude to go against the norm. It’s a birthday party, for crying out loud, not a funeral?” Another

guest complained.

“I know one of them, it’s Miss Blackwell”

“I think so, too. I remember her now She’s a doctor who broadcasted live some time ago. She’s a

career

Emily’s face darkened when she overheard the whispers. She did not invite that bitch to come for

compliments. She then put on a smile and walked to Natalie “Hey, you’re here. Take a seat first Moms

party is about to begin.”

Elena Foster’s gaze turned to Natalie when she spotted the latter in the room. Her eyes filled with

hatred, but she pretended to be enthusiastic for the audience’s sake. She ran over to greet Natalie. “Hi,

you’re here Take a seat I thought you were not coming and told your father so

“Oh. Miss Landor is here too. Take a seat,” Elena greeted, but Sherri ignored her. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

She did not want to come in the first place.

talie stood still and did not intend to move. “I didn’t want to come, but I can’t stand you threatening me

with my mother’s ongings. But I have made an effort since you invited me. Here I am, but I’m not

staying long Give me the things.”

Eleria was already unhappy when she saw the two women’s attires Today was her birthday party, for

crying out loud. Why dad that bitch dress like she was attending a funeral? Natalie clearly wanted to

provoke her on purpose.

However, she kept calm for the sake of her social status. “Take a seat first, Natalie. We’ll give you the

things later, okay” We re busy now and don’t have time to do so”

Sherri sensed Elena’s reluctance to oblige, judging by her lame excuse. She almost flared up, but

Natalie stopped her just in

Too many people were at the party tonight Natalie did not want her best friend to bear the blame for

causing a ruckus.

Juana Landor would not leave Sherri alone if she found out later.

Emily whispered to Natalie, “You can leave if you don’t want your mother’s belongings, Natalie. No one

is stopping you.” Natalie clenched her hands quietly and resisted the urge to overturn the table before

her Instead, she pulled Sherri along and walked over to two empty seats.

Max was at the table; be looked at Natalie with lustful eyes as soon as she sat down and tried to chat

her up. “Hey, Natalie, you look gorgeous!”

Natalie was disgusted and despised him even more. She could not understand why Emily insisted on

marrying into the Wilson family, spending endless time and effort trying to win Max over

Natalie was sure that Emily knew about Max’s personality and reputation.

Getting Max involved was like killing two birds with one stone

Sherri did not overthink. She quickly stood up when she saw Max and changed seats with Natalie. After

the two ocapped seats, Max could only look at Natalie from afar.

It was halfway through dinner, but Natalie and Sherri had not eaten a morsel or drank a drop of wine.

An elderly man beside Natalie said. “Young lady, relax and have a drink As he spoke, he poured a drink

for her and another for his grandson

The kid beside him finished it in a gulp and asked the elderly man for more. The latter did not do so and

told him to rat

first.

Then the elderly man passed the drink around the table, and everyone took turns pouring some.

Natalie gradually let her guard down.

Sherri’s suspicion vanished as well. She thought the Foster family would not be so crazy as to spike

everyone’s drink. Then she took a sip from her glass. Meanwhile, Max raised his glass to clink with

Natalie.

Natalie ignored him. She was a little thirsty and took a sip from her glass.

Max took Natalie’s gesture as a token of respect that she did not despise him.

Sherri whispered to Natalie, “I don’t think he dares to spike the drink. The table is full of elderly people

and children, unless the Foster family has gone crazy”

Natalie thought so too. Other than the old and young, there were a few middle-aged guests at the same

table who she did not know. The children were served the same drink. Therefore, it ought to be safe for

consumption.

Natalie and Sherri did not drink wine: they had the same drink as the rest at the table.

Halfway through dinner, Harry Foster went on stage to speak. He pulled Elena along like a loving

couple. Harry impressed his guests by doting on his wife to show they were happily married.

The Foster couple was indeed the envy of all the guests.

“Elena Foster could have won an Oscar for her outstanding performance. It’s a waste of her talent that

she wasn’t an actress,” Sherri muttered.

Natalie scoffed. “She’s acting as herself”

The couple’s showmanship disgusted Natalie and Sherri Just then, Harry kissed his wife on stage; It

was a deep kiss.

Harry had initially wanted to make it difficult for Natalie to ask for her inheritance tonight. Elena stopped

him and proposed a better scheme.

From Elena’s perspective, Natalie was still married to Trevon Wilson, and his family had her back.

Therefore, the Foster family could not do anything to Natalie openly.

However, Elena and Emily kept the secret of Natalie’s marriage from Harry Foster.

Time ticked by as the birthday celebration continued.

Sherri suddenly felt an unbearable heat emerging from within, invading her whole body. She felt light-

headed, and her vision was blurry.

Most of the guests at her table had left by now. Only Natalie and Max remained.

Sherri stayed on because she promised to accompany Natalie to retrieve her mother’s belongings.
